Sizemodo: Gumstix Netstix vs. Actual Gum

Cingular Site Redesigned: What Phone is This?

Cingular’s gone and redesigned their home page, making it much more navigable, prettier, and more Web 2.0 (which means nothing). But there’s one question nobody can seem to answer: what phone is this toothsome girl holding? It’s not the W300i, the only white music-phone that we can see on Cingular’s lineup of flip phones. So…
